Buccaneers game was merely a hiccup.

More pointedly, the third-year veteran from Georgia expects a return to normalcy when the Cowboys face the Redskins tomorrow.

"We need to rebound from last week," Carter said. "We need to get our swagger back. I am pretty positive we are going to get back headed in the right direction."

But Hill suggested even though "Carter talked mostly from a team vernacular, he might as well have said: I need to rebound.'I need to get my swagger back.'I am positive I am going to get back headed in the right direction.

"Because things have indeed changed."

His performance against Tampa Bay, which included two interceptions, no offensive scores and a 42.1 quarterback rating, has brought about renewed questions regarding his long-term viability as the Cowboys quarterback.

Head coach Bill Parcells laid down the gauntlet before the season when he said the true test of a team or individuals comes through adversity.

And when Carter returned to the huddle Wednesday, Parcells only upped the ante.

He said the teams fast start and first-place status has changed expectations for everybody and referred to the next five games as showtime if the Cowboys hope to make something substantive out of their early sizzle. The same could be said about the play of certain individuals as well, though with more long-term implications.

Because while the next month might determine what the Cowboys do in 2003, it also could determine who they are doing it with in 2004 and beyond.

"I think Ill know more about the team definitively at the end of this month," Parcells said. " Ill know more about the players. Ill know more about the future. Ill know more about what has to be done here. I told the players that. This is it. You need to step up, and lets see what you can do. And the guys that can do that, I want them to be a part of it, but the ones who cant, well be looking to do something about it."

Parcells didnt call out Carter by name. But Carter knows hes especially talking about him, considering the importance of the quarterback position.
