I kinda figured he’d end up in either KC, Chicago, Baltimore, or Buffalo.

Montgomery rips 45 yards on 3 carries here comes Cohen and he gets negative 2

And then 6 more carries for Cohen, then a couple for whoever their #3 is that's averaging 2.1 ypc

I think it would be great for him to go somewhere that is not the Eagles. He needs to explain his resume right now.

That answers one question:  we've said no other team has ever interviewed him.

They want him as a RB Coach

And they still haven't lol. Guy walked back his original tweet and just said "there's interest", and on top of that it's just a lateral move.

I love Duce but maybe he should take that job and get away from the org, might be better for him in the long term. He denied the opportunity to be a coordinator here, he likely won't get that offer again. Try again somewhere else.

I do think he'd benefit from going elsewhere and seeing what kind of impact he can have. He's been here a long long time now and I do think a different organisation, a different scheme etc may help him take that next step.

Assuming the coach doesn't throw the ball 45 times after the initial success on the ground.

It’s because of in game situations. One of them will be having a good game or series and is pulled for the rest of the game for reasons no one understands. He’s a great teacher and coach in that aspect but his in game rotation sucks.

For reasons Duce knows about. Most of the times RBs come out of the game it's after they signal to the sideline they need to come out. Most of the time it's for a breather, but sometimes it can be an injury or equipment condition. Sometimes the game situation dictates what we need to do offensively and he may prefer one HB over another for the package being used on offense. If the defense is blitzing frequently, there may be a guy Duce trusts more to pick them up. A RB might make a couple nice runs in a row, but that doesn't mean they did what they were supposed to do on those runs and maybe left some yards on the field or something. Duce can coach them up when they come out of the game. 

We really don't know what's going on there all the time and we often find out about some injuries after the game is over.  It's his job, not ours, to know what is going on. I'd rather Duce do his job than hop on twitter to keep the fans updated on each decision during the game.

Duce has stated more then once plays are tied to certain running backs, whatever Doug calls is the back that goes in. When duce has had a legit back he has given then the majority of the carries.

Doug has said before that Duce is in charge of the rotations

Bye Duce. Good luck on your next team

Preach to someone else. His rotations is garbage. He lacks in game awareness. Pretty standard for coming from Andy.
