Morning Ram-blings: Programming note
By Nick Wagoner

http://espn.go.com/blog/st-louis-rams/post/_/id/9529/morning-ram-blings-programming-note

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Now that organized team activities are over and the St. Louis Rams have wrapped up their offseason program, it means the players and coaches will head their separate ways for the better part of the next month.

It also means a little down time for yours truly. While there will still be new content here every day, I'll be going off the grid for a couple of weeks before returning to get back on the grind in the time leading up to training camp. The Ram-blings will return at that time, also.

I will, however, be participating in one more chat before then and you can join in with whatever questions you might have on the Rams or anything else by submitting questions now and/or joining me when we go live at 1 p.m. ET.

I.C.Y.M.I.

A roundup of Thursday's Rams stories appearing on ESPN.com. ... In the Ram-blings, we began the day with a look at the potential free-agent receiver class of 2015. ... Next, we explored the transition of rookie offensive lineman Greg Robinson as he goes from tackle to guard. ... From there, we offered the opinion that the Rams should honor quarterback Kurt Warner much as the Arizona Cardinals are on Sept. 8. ... Finally, we finished with a final observation from the team's last OTA of 2014.
