Tate ranks 17th out of 40 kick returners and better than anyone Steelers have out there  and has zero fumbles lost this year both kickoffs and punts.  As far as a team.. here is a link that ranks Bengals 9th cross the board on special teams and factors in some interesting variables.  Steelers are 18th.

I don;t want Jones on kickoffs unless 4th quarter and we are behind or close.  Punts I would be selective... for same reason Steelers have become selective with Brown.. both are too valuable in their normal position.
