We were overdue for a bounce after some very oversold conditions. Maybe we are getting to a point where the market is beaten-up enough.
We missed a lot of tackles, and to beat a team like that you have to do a better job of tackling.
We went after the worst of the worst and told them, 'You will not commit crimes here any longer,'
