It could, but you're actually talking about 7.5 yards difference over the course of 2 punts. So actually it's less than 4 yards.
Completing typically a single short pass more would cover the same (or more) than the PR yardage.

Also, Bullock has only missed the FG in the first game, of which was less than 40 yards. So the difference of 4 yards or 7.5 yards wouldn't have mattered for that kick.

If you're talking about the difference between, say, a 53 yarder vs a 45 yarder, I can see that, but that's not going to happen every game. It's going to be a rare occurence.
