When I coached football we did our pregame in the endzone. First we did the usual warmup exercises and then moved to offensive and defensive prep time. We finished by running O vrs D.
As far as getting them rolling early have sent in the punt block call, used the blitz especially if the field postiion is in your favor and passed long early to both maybe catch the other team napping and to get the excitement level rolling as a secondary function of the play. Plus helps if you have coach's who are sideline motivators and not just caught up in the action.
