What I am saying is that when all the players come to the line and set up they have "shifted". Following a shift everyone has to be stopped for 1 full second before the ball is snapped. Assuming the lineman in question did come to a full stop along with everyone else (but he has not yet put a hand on or near the ground), if he then moves prior to the snap, he must simply NOT be moving at the snap. The 1 second pause only applies to shifts. If only 1 player is moving, there is no shift, hence no requirement for another 1 second pause.
