Quick question - is there any law prohibiting a defender lifting and holding a ball carrier up with their feet off the ground to stop them going to ground? In effect to stopping contact becoming a tackle and forcing a mail?
I had this situation on Sat, with defender bear hugging the BC and taking his feet off the ground for about 3 seconds. I didn't see any danger and he put him down carefully but it made me wonder if there was anything sanctionable in him doing so.

Please excuse the typo on what is clearly meant to say maul!
