This is the best news i've heard all preseason! I personally think it's a great idea, just because so many players have already had season ending injuries in the preseason.

"Vikings coach Brad Childress said today he wouldn't play any of his starters in Thursday night's exhibition finale at Dallas.
That includes quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, who is working his way back from a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee but has said he definitely will be ready for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener at Green Bay.
Childress said backup quarterback Gus Frerotte also would be rested Thursday, leaving rookie John David Booty and Brooks Bollinger to divide those duties.
Asked who would lead off, Childress joked: "I'm not that far along yet. I'm not sure if we're down to a coin flip. We may play rock-paper-scissors for it."
All kidding aside, Thursday's game represents a big opportunity for Booty and particularly Bollinger, who have been competing for the No. 3 quarterback job.
"If you figure on both for a half, obviously they want to give a good account of themselves," Childress said, "whether they're handing it off or whether they're making a play on a naked (bootleg) or a screen or a dropback pass. I just want to see where they're at with my system.""

Wrong forum for this but the Cowboys wont be playing their starters either. At least not all of them.
I was hoping Childress would keep Jackson out for sure.
So this game wont show us much about our regular starters. But I am happy about that too.
