I thought the idea behind 3 preseason games was to basically eliminate the 4th game where no starters played anyways. The first 3 preseason games should follow the routine of previous years, i.e. the 3rd preseason game your starters should play 3 quarters so they're ready for week 1.

they do it in college every year. college games are longer w/ more plays being run because the clock stops for a bit after every first down plus again when someone goes out of bounds.
i think you play your starters for a couple quarters in pre season - but not anymore than that.
