The DoubleMove Podcast
In this episode of the DoubleMove Cowboys Podcast, we’re talking about one of the most underrated pieces of the Dallas Cowboys offense: Ryan Flournoy.
CeeDee Lamb is still the star. George Pickens gives Dallas a true outside weapon. But if Flournoy really has developed into a legitimate WR3, this Cowboys passing attack could become a lot more dangerous than people realize.
We break down how Flournoy got to this point, why his 2025 production matters, where he did most of his damage on the field, and how Dallas can use him as a short-to-intermediate weapon who creates after the catch. This isn’t about forcing him to be a superstar — it’s about him becoming the exact type of third receiver who can punish defenses for selling out to stop CeeDee and Pickens.
We also look at how the Cowboys’ offense already ranked near the top of the NFL in 2025, why the defense dragged down the overall team results, and why Flournoy’s next step could make this group even harder to defend in 2026.
Topics include:
Ryan Flournoy’s growth into the Cowboys’ WR3
How Flournoy fits next to CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens
Why his short/intermediate usage matters
Cowboys 2025 offensive rankings
How Dallas can create matchup problems in 11 personnel
Why Flournoy could be the “forgotten guy” defenses regret ignoring
The Cowboys don’t need Ryan Flournoy to be CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens. They just need him to be good enough that defenses can’t hide their third corner on him anymore — and based on what we saw in 2025, that might be exactly where this is headed.
