Listening to local Sports Radio since the Cordy Glenn trade reveals the benefits of addressing what are commonly thought to be weak starting spots on the team. Fans and radio hosts shocked (but in a good way) by the out of character move the Bengals made to get Cordy Glenn to fix a problem. The left tackle problem.
A Public Relations home run for the Bengals.
Optimism on the Radio, around local workplaces, offices and even on Fan Message Boards.
If the Bengals were to tap into the Public Relations value that certain moves have with Fans, they could improve what most fans see as the weakest starting links on the team, while also bringing back fan interest.
It has been common to hear fans say we need a Left Tackle, Center, Linebacker for example.
When fans see weak areas addressed with players that they believe in, more of the fans themselves begin to have a personal stake in wanting to see if they themselves were right about how fixing the weak areas would improve the team.
When fans see weak links remain in starting spots and not addressed, then many of those fans lose a certain amount of optimism and possibly interest.
Consensus themes of two or three positions that need upgraded tend to permeate through the fan base and many times that consensus is correct.
For example, a dominant Center seems to be on the wish list by many fans.
What would be the Public Relations impact with fans of re-signing Bodine versus drafting say center James Daniels in round 1 ?
The Public Relations needle likely goes up with a James Daniels pick and with that likely fan interest and optimism goes up.
Whenever fan consensus of a glaring weakness and the Bengals own recognition of that weakness coincide, then the Bengals have much to gain by fixing that weakness.
They become on the same page as the fans with that specific issue, which makes the fans feel like more of a partner in the attempt to fix the problem. Hope rises.
As fans see weak areas being focused on for improvement, they themselves start believing again.
The Bengals Front Office is being praised for the Cordy Glenn move.
Tapping into this concept with a few more starting weak link upgrades that are a consensus hit with fans could end up being a win/win for the Bengals Front Office, on and off the field.
