If you watch here at 2 and 3 seconds in this video, you can watch the tackle moving early.
I did watch that, many times and it appeared to me that they moved simultaneously but the T lunged further, which may make it look like he went first.
Since i wasn't happy with that, since it's sooooo damn close, i pulled it up on the dvr and watched it frame by frame. The T butt does move the most minute of a fraction faster than the C, but there's no way a referee is going to call that in a game when it looks simultaneous live. Also, keep in mind that the line judge is looking right down the LoS, so it's easily plausible that the ball moved before the T moved, whose butt moved just a bit before the C. The C has to finish the snap before he can start to stand up while the T only needs to move when the ball does to start his forward progress.
