That play never works

I think the O-line moving is part of the play.That way the refs have to throw the flag.I do think Nicks deserves credit for jumping as soon as the guy was across the line.

Yep, if the D comes across, but doesn't make contact, and gets reset before the snap, there is no penalty. The O lineman has to jump when the D lineman comes across in order to get the flag.
