If you missed your opportunity to get your initial grip and take control, there's still plenty to be done. The next move is to strip your partner's grips (and there is an art to this as well; if you haven't already done so, please understand how to deal with pants grips). In this instance, Russ is sitting up, just as before, but this time his partner grabs the inside of his knees before he can make the initial grip. One simple way to deal with this is to hug your partner's wrist with your elbow, and then flare your knee open. This will break even a very strong grip. After breaking both grips, revert to the previous step and take control as your partner tries to grip again.
