Baltimore Ravens’ cornerback Jimmy smith isn’t looking for, or trying to provoke trouble with Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants. He said this week, though, that he won’t back down from it.
“All that extra hitting and talking, that’s not going to fly,” Smith said yesterday. “That’s not my game. I like to line up and play. ‘Give me your best shot, and I’ll give you mine.’ But if you hit me after the whistle there’s going to be a fight.”
The only extra-curricular contact Beckham had Sunday against the Green Bay Packers was a make-up hug with a kicking net.
