In my experience, no: it will cause the plane to pivot around the center of lift and drive the mains into the runway.
Correction for a floater is to maintain pitch and slightly increase back pressure as you feel it begins to sink. The 700 is really hard to salvage a smooth landing on if you blow it entering ground effect, the 200 (and even the 900) not so much.
