NFL teams blitzing in preseason?

This seems like a relatively new development. Since offensive teams don't scheme for particular defenses, this seems like it would give the defense the upper hand and really endanger the QB. This leads to teams not playing their #1s much at all, which in turn even further dilutes the product. Not terribly fair to the season ticket holders, who get raped for full price for 2 exhibition games per year (adding ~50% to the price).

Thoughts?

I would think that a fan who follows a team enough to own season tickets would want to get a chance to see the young and upcoming players that are trying to make the team.

except that for the most part, the guys who do make the team serve a limited role - it's not like baseball or hockey where the guy might be a star in 3 years
