5 passes to 1; 5 screens near the left wing; 4 cuts to the right perimeter

Run this Box entry variation when you want to disguise the Cov Cath action behind an initial box set alignment. You initiate out of the box, then your five screens the left wing and your four cuts to the right perimeter for the look. Use it to catch a prepared defense off-guard with a familiar-looking starting formation.
