escaping/defending against Russian cowboy?

I have a lot of difficultly with this position. I don't any effective escapes and the same scenario often plays out with me defending the kneebar and then get caught in a calf crank. What escapes do you guys have success with against Russian cowboy?

;)

Get there first.

If do right, no can defend.

If they don't do it right though, you can use your free leg to push on their ass really hard to pry yourself free. After they've already fallen to the side though.

Also, again only if they're not doing it right, you can try to bridge a bit and try to take their back.

I just try to not allow people to get me into any dead zones. After all, they're called dead zones for a reason....

Good question, Herzog?
