Yeah. It probably only varies slightly with each coach, but usually he does it like this:
Preseason game 1 - starters play one quarter and maybe halfway into the second quarter.
Preseason game 2 - starters play a half
Preseason game 3 -starters play 2.5 to 3 quarters
Preseason game 4 - no starters play at all.
Then from there he works his way down the depth chart with the remaining time pretty evenly.
There are slight variations. If the starters absolutely suck, he may keep them in longer-for another possession or two. If they come out and play great right off the bat, he will most likely pull them a drive or two early.
He keeps things pretty vanilla as do most coaches. Reid usually likes to go deep on the offensive and defensive lines for final rosters.
