You can only have one man in motion at the snap and that motion must be parallel to or away from the LOS. What is described is an illegal shift.
The situation you describe could occur before the snap only if the first back comes to a complete stop and there is no motion for a complete second. Technically, the first back is not in motion but is performing a shift.
