But definitely, honestly, 1,000 yards for everybody on the offense. I feel like me, [George Pickens], CeeDee [Lamb], even [Jake Ferguson] can do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One area that Flournoy and his fellow skill position players want to improve in is the red zone, where Dallas felt they didn&#8217;t capitalize enough in last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We weren&#8217;t very good last year, and we have the skill positions, even the o-linemen to be great down there, even the running backs,&#8221; Flournoy said. &#8220;This year, it&#8217;s something, in the red zone, we really look forward to. We want to be number one in offense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for his own offseason improvements, Flournoy has been working to continue doing the things that got him to this point in his career.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really just being consistent,&#8221; Flournoy said. &#8220;I wanted to work on my route running, even Dak&#8217;s trust with me, being at the spot, knowing where to be, when to be, not being too early, not being too late, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been working on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Flournoy credits fellow Cowboys WR and Pro Bowler CeeDee Lamb with being a &#8220;tremendous&#8221; help for him and his growth in the NFL and Dallas&#8217; offense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t give him enough credit, man,&#8221; Flournoy said. &#8220;Just learning from him, even just asking questions and watching him, how he is a pro and how he approach this game, and you can tell he loves it, you can tell he&#8217;s obsessed with it. I implement some of his stuff into my game, and it shows on the field. A lot of stuff y&#8217;all see comes from him and [George Pickens], and obviously my talent, but I learned a lot from him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s also learning from the Cowboys&#8217; new look defense, which features a lot of new faces under Christian Parker in 2026 that allow him to prepare for different types of cornerback play.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re terrific,&#8221; Flournoy said of the Cowboys&#8217; secondary players. &#8220;I&#8217;m honestly excited, and I look forward to going against them every practice\u2026 Just knowing how physical, and they bring so much to the table.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, Flournoy is looking to bring even more to the table for Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys&#8217; offense as their third option in his third season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;Oh yea, always,&#8221; Flournoy said when asked if 1,000 yards was on the table for him. &#8220;I wanted&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":978966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,222001,387466,1292,1296,89744,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-978965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-america","tag-dallas","tag-featured-offseason-2026","tag-featured-training-camp-central","tag-news-all-news","tag-news-tommy-yarrish","tag-ryan-flournoy","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117034439622933171","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/978965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=978965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/978965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/978966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=978965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=978965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=978965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
