Ravens' Smith warns Beckham: If you hit me late, we're fighting

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith has seen enough of Odell Beckham Jr.'s nonsense, and he's not going to stand for it Sunday.

The Ravens' 2011 first-round pick is looking forward to his matchup with the New York Giants' star receiver this week, but if there's any extracurricular activity, Smith won't back down.

"All of that extra hitting and talking, that's not going to fly," Smith said of Beckham, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "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."

Beckham didn't respond well to physical play from Minnesota Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes in Week 4, putting up the lowest yardage total of his short career. Smith says he should be ready for a similar experience against the Ravens.

"He's a physical player, and I'm a physical player," Smith said. "So, I'm pretty sure we'll have a good matchup."
