Which brings me to my point; preseason games are needed for general practice & to decide roster spots & position battles. If DT & MK are in the running to start or move up the depth chart they need to get a lot of snaps in real game action, whether that's practice, scrimmages or preseason games.
I appreciate your point about limiting action in preseason, but I see it as applying to guys that are obvious starters. Everyone else needs to be evaluated and the only way to do that is in real game situations. I would think both those guys will get many more reps than Moss & ARE, but they likely won't be playing much in the 3rd & 4th quarters, which might be what you're saying.

Yes that's what I'm saying.
They will get their work, but not in the 3rd and 4th when the nobodies are in there.
