Learning the game deeper

I am in high school and have always been watching football, especially UGA. I have watched film studies and listened to podcasts but I want to learn the tendencies coaches usually have in most situations, but a lot of times I don’t understand what they’re talking about. I know a lot more about strategy than other kids my age, so I want deeper knowledge. Any tips?

Cover 4 / Quarters Run Fits

I'm curious how you coaches teach quarters run fits, especially vs 12/21 personnel. It seems to me that if you follow the montage, "your coverage takes you to your fit", and your coverage is a TE that attaches to the core of the formation and creates an additional gap, you have to enter the primary run fit. That means if the defense is in quarters and the offense comes out in a 2 TE formation, both safeties have will enter the fit if their key tells them to react to run action / play action, effectively creating a cover 0 situation. Am I missing something?
