I can't find team numbers for return averages, but in his 16 year tenure the Bengals only allowed 11 P/KO return tds. That is tenth in the league, but we are tied with 5 other teams, so basically around league average (12.6)

However the Bengals were dead last in the league with just 5 combined tds (2 KO, 3 P) during Marvin's tenure.

The kickoff return is slowly getting phased out, bit the Bengals need to concentrate on getting more production from punt returns.

We have had some elite return men (Peter Warrick, Deltha O'Neal, Adam Jones) but they still did not rack up a lot of tds.

Erickson is also a great returner; not elite, but he picks up big chunks constantly.
