That's a fair point. At the same time, saying Crouch is "poor in the air" is slightly silly given his production. Again, he's not a good athlete, and he's not a good jumper, but he knows how to use his height. Like I said, he's excellent at the deep cross to the back post. Often times he doesn't even need to jump. In that sense he's poor in the air, but also has excellent positioning. Mainly, he can use his height well because he knows he can't jump.

Of which, he is neither.
His frame is actually what has hindered him from being great in the air (you know, aside from the whole timing aspect - but he has gotten better with age).
Andy Carroll (who can be considered "good" in the air) connected with a headed shot nearly 3 times as often as Crouch did last season, despite being, what, 5 inches shorter?
Carroll was born to head the ball, Crouch was not.
