Recruiting and Calling the 4-2-5 Man Pressure in Dynasty (the Patricia Build)

Most 4-2-5 Man Pressure coverage is about the online meta — the glitch blitz, the zone-drop fix and the goal-line package. This is the other half: how to build the thing in Dynasty, from recruiting through a play-calling ladder, framed by Mills as Matt Patricia's Ohio State defense.

Read this with the patch history in mind. It was filmed July 29, before Title Update 4 nerfed man coverage on Sep 3 and before TU 3.5 took the free pressure out of contain blitzes. The recruiting is unaffected — archetypes and abilities have not been retuned — and so is the disguise structure, which is the real idea here. What changed is the margin: man press now punishes a wrong-way shade, so "leave them on islands" costs more than it did in July. Recruit for this happily; expect to actually cover.
