Hello all,
Red ball carrier runs towards Blue player. Blue player holds carrier and pulls him down but does not go to ground. Then blue attempts to jackal after releasing red.

1) Is blue a tackler?
2) Is the jackal legal?
3) Would the jackal be legal if blue didn't release red?

Thanks.

1. No he is an other player.
2. Yes if he has released the ball carrier and entered the tackle zone from the direction of his own goal line before playing the ball.
3. No, PK, not releasing.
