Ackshullllly, they're saying that the starters will have their full dress rehearsal half of play next week in game 3.

Aah, that's definitely a different approach.  Hopefully the starters come out of game 3 healthy, looks like the Falcons (game #3 opponents) are taking a similar approach as they're resting their starters this week as well... so maybe it's not as unusual as I thought.  I suppose I'm used to skipping through most of the last preseason game.
