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?

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....
