Those familiar with some of the weirder corners of Football Twitter are well-acquainted with “Pardon My Take,” a podcast featuring the long-running PFTCommenter satirical personality.

Detroit Lions interior linemen T.J. Lang, Graham Glasgow and Travis Swanson appeared on the most recent episode , and they gave honest takes on a lot of topics.

Lang, when asked about moving from Green Bay to Detroit, said it was great to avoid driving back and forth from northern Wisconsin to surburban-Detroit family home, yet still be able to “beat the Bears twice a year.” Glasgow opened up about the transition from playing for the “intense” Jim Harbaugh to Jim Caldwell, whom he called the “nicest person.”

The big pull quote most people reacted to from this interview, though, was Lang’s characterization of a notable former Lion:

Ndamukong Suh’s outsized talent and frenzied play sometimes got him in trouble, but let’s be real: a great opposing offensive lineman saying he “hated” blocking a player is a compliment.

The most important nuggets for me, though, were the predictions they offered for 2017: Swanson sees an improvement on last year’s 9-7 finish, Lang predicts his new team will wrest the NFC North away from his old team, and Glasgow projected a massive 12-win campaign.

Of course, no player’s going to do an interview and say “I feel like we’re going to play at least as well as last year but maybe regress to the mean a little and finish within a game of .500.”

Nevertheless, you also don’t hear a lot of players go as far out on a limb as they did, and at this stage of the season it’s music to Lions’ fans ears.
